Five people were injured in a one-car crash about 10:30 Tuesday night at 32nd Street and 160th Avenue in Park Township, according to police scanner reports.Details were not available late Tuesday, but police scanner traffic said two of the victims had serious injuries.Graafschap Fire Department, Park Township Fire Department and Holland City units responded to the scene.An Aeromed helicopter was originally sent, but was called off.The red four-door car appears to have gone through the intersection of 64th Street/160th Avenue and 32nd Street and struck the remains of a concrete foundation or wall of what was once the Windmill Gas Station at 160th Avenue and 32nd Street.The gas station was built in the 1920s and demolished in 2000. It had been struck over the years by several vehicles heading north on 64th Street that did not stop at the 32nd Street intersection. A vehicle in 1999 went through the store’s front window.Thirty-second Street is the dividing line between Allegan County to the south where 64th Street intersects and Ottawa County to the north where 160th Avenue meets 32nd Street.
